The Milwaukee SentfnePS Semi
Centennial.

The Sentinel, az well as the queen,
celebrates semi-centennial amt
versary during the present mouth.
The first number Of the Sentinel
appeared on the eth of June, 1887.
1t js, therefore, not only the most
widely circulated but tie oldest OF
existing Wisconsin newspapers.
The anniversary will be observed
by the issue of special seml-cen-
tenial number on Sunday, June 90,
which will terminate the first fifty
wears Of the existence Of that journal.
The semi-centennial number will be
printed upon paper Of superior quail
ity, and Will contain large amount
of matter prepared with special ref
erence to the anniversary. The his
tory Of the Sentinel is almost com
cident with that of Wisconsin. The
first settlement here, except the log
cabin Of an lndian trader, was only
two years earlier in date. There
still remains with rs q considerable

There viii no doubt be large

that one or TWO Of the supplements

The barrel factory, supply house and ware

The whole fire department is at work.
There were six heavy explosions, but no
lives were lost. Hundreds of workmen
will be thrown out Of employment.
Booths lumber yards and the Standard
watch factory are on fire. The Sun says
the fire at Constable Hook has spread to

looked as if the whole place would go.

lurid glare upon New York bay. By
this time the fire tugs had arrived and
fought the fire from the water; each threw

that checked the flames and saved the
factories and lumber yards. Along the

Vice President Oakes Talks About the Fort

New Engine.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC BRANCH TO FORT
BENTON
On his return to st. Paul from the west
Vice President Oakes, of the n. P, was
interviewed by the Globe, and among 9th
er things said: The wheat crop looked
generally as though it was in good condi-
ton OF course there were some poor
spots and some that were extra good. The
average yield will be fully up to anything
that section Of the country has ever had.
Work was being prosecuted with vigor on
the spur from Birds Eye north toward
Fort Benton. This is part Of the Fort
Benton branch and will be built this sea-
son. The line to Philipsburg will be built
also this year. Work is also being prose-
cuted on the line from Missoula to Skal-
kaho, which runs southerly from the main
line. Mr. Cakes states that there is d
great deal of activity at Helena, Butte
and other large cities in real estate and all
kinds Of business. The whole population
out in that region are thrifty, vigorous
and apparently every way growing in
wealth, population and Importance, owing
to the vigor displayed in giving the coun-
try proper railroad facilities.

President J. J. Hill, Of the Manitoba,

Mr.. John Harris returned Saturday
from a trip down Milk river along the
line Of railroad construction. He speaks
of the graders in the highest terms, and
says that as a rule they seem to be a most
excellent lot of men, principally farmers
from Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. They
are working hard and saving their money.
They have first class work stock, and are
making the dirt fly at a rate that is aston
ishing. Mr.. Harris says they are fast clos
ing up the gaps between the different
camps. and that the work will be complet-
ed almost before we realize that it is fully

that the warrants issued on the general

the aggregate to over s31, 900. This in
cludes bounty in general, but the far
greater portion was for the ground squir
